*STILL*?

You posted something to the same effect last year...

How are you, anyway? The 'Wages of Sin' thread is still mentioned every
now and again.

not seen seedlings of these ever sold.

They tend to be named varieties grafted/budded onto to root stocks.

Mail order is cheapest - Deacons

I may be missing something but the obvious cheapest way to get seedlings of
plum, pears and apples etc. is to buy the fruit at the supermarket and
germinate the seeds yourself. They can take ages to fruit when grown from
seed though.

I think the best way though is to buy them as bare-rooted trees mailorder
from somewhere like buckingham nurseries

And won't come true to the parent - there's no guarantee that the fruit
you get will even be worth eating.

But isn't that how the Bramleys cooker came about.

Thinking about it, isn't that how all have come about, by crossing and
seeing what happens.

I said no guarantee. Of course you might be lucky, But for every cross
which is worth preserving there are very many which aren't worth the
bother - depends how much room the OP has, of course. And AIUI it isn't
quite a matter of 'seeing what happens' - usually the parents are chosen
with some care.

I'd expect in a large commercial orchard such as I presume would supply the
supermarkets, the chances are greater that both parents are very similar and
so the plants would be more likely to come true than from a home-grown tree
which could have been pollinated by anything?

It can be guaranteed that little, or nothing, worthwhile will be
produced from seeds. In the ages since Cox's and Bramley were achieved
nothing has surpassed them despite both being a PITN to grow. Cox's for its
health and Bramley for its vigour.
Millions of seedling are grown every year but in all that time nothing
to equal the above~~ despite their faults.
Surprisingly, Peaches do respond quite well and do produce edible fruits
within a reasonable time.

Someone has it all archived. I think Adrian Goathard has, but I have an
idea that another Zetnut saved it all too. Ask PM...

Yes, but the failure rate is very high. Only one every now and again makes it.

No. Read up on Mendel's experiments with peas.

I think the "success" rate may be a little better than most people are
prdicting here - but the timescales and land needed mean that it would be
a lot of work to try them out.

Current researchers/breeders are looking for apples with specific
commercial criteria that match the commercial growing, picking, packing
and selling regimes of today. For own use the criteria can be a lot more
relaxed and hence there will be more "successes".

Sneha Nursery is our endeavor to produce a variety of healthy seedlings using highly sophisticated greenhouses, for supply to farmers who wish to maximize their crop production. This project reflects our vision to grow seedlings of a diversified variety of All Fruit Seedlings, Watermelon, Muskmelon, Papaya, T C Banana under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and fertigation, in order to ensure that prevailing plant loss due to poor conditions is prevented. We have a team of highly experienced scientists and analysts who dedicatedly work to produce healthy, diseases free seedlings with longevity.

We are committed to contribute to the society by nurturing and promoting Indian Horticulture. We believe in positive innovation. We work on the techniques which can help us in promoting welfare of all.
